ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SWITCHING CONNECTION OF DEVICE TO DEVICE COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18306611 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SWITCHING CONNECTION OF DEVICE TO DEVICE COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes an electronic device and a method for operating the device. The device includes a communication circuit and a processor connected to the communication circuit. The processor is designed to perform various functions related to data transmission and reception between the device and an external electronic device connected to an access point (AP).

  • The device can receive information about the external electronic device's first communication scheme for data transmission and reception.
  • The device can set up a first session with the external electronic device based on the information received about the first communication scheme.
  • The device can also receive information about the external electronic device's second communication scheme, which is different from the first communication scheme.
  • The device can discover the external electronic device based on the information about the second communication scheme, but only if the device meets a predetermined condition.
  • The device can then set up a second session with the external electronic device based on data related to the second communication scheme.
  • Finally, the device can transmit and/or receive data through the second session.

Overall, this patent application describes a method for an electronic device to establish different communication sessions with an external electronic device, based on the specific communication schemes supported by the external device.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device and a method of operating an electronic device are provided. The device includes a communication circuit and a processor operatively connected to the communication circuit. The processor is configured to receive, in a connected state with an access point (AP), information on an external electronic device related to a first communication scheme for data transmission and/or reception between the external electronic device connected to the AP and the electronic device and information on the external electronic device related to a second communication scheme different from the first communication scheme, set up a first session supported by the first communication scheme with the external electronic device, based on the information on the external electronic device related to the first communication scheme, discover the external electronic device, based on the information on the external electronic device related to the second communication scheme according to the electronic device satisfying a predetermined condition, set up a second session, based on data related to the second communication scheme, and transmit and/or receive the data through the second session.
